Best Answer

On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.

How do you connect two battery for 24 volts?

Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you will have 24 volts.


How do you connect two twelve volt batteries for my motor home?

You will want to connect them in "parallel" (positive to positive, negative to negative). If you connect them in "series" (positive to negative) you will add one voltage to the other, making 24 volts.


Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?

The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.


Can a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts without damage?

No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.


What is the maximum volts that can be used on a 208 230 volt motor?

You should not go above 240 volts for that type of motor.


Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?

Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.


Can you connect 460Vac motor to 480Vac circuit?

Yes, the 440 volt motor is withing the 10% voltage range of the 460 volt group. When the supply is said to be 480 volts, usually it is lower than what it is stated to be. Once the motor is connected check the current against the motor's nameplate amperage.


How to hook a 24 volt trolling motor to 2 12 volt batteries?

You would need to connect the two 12 volt batteries in series. That will give you 24 volts and the amps of one of the batteries. Voltage doubles and amps stay the same.


How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?

It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
